[DID NOT ATTEND: March 19, 2023] The Messthetics / James Brandon Lewis Trio
I really like The Messthetics (including the name). The band has at its core drummer Brendan Canty and bassist Joe Lally who were both in Fugazi. Along with guitarist Anthony Pirog, they make cool and interesting instrumental rock. They have been pretty high on my list of bands to see.
However, the timing of this show was kind of rough.
Plus, the opening band or co-band or maybe even headliner (it was unclear), was James Brandon Lewis Trio. JBL is a saxophonist. he is typically joined by Lally and Canty (I assume he was on this show as well, but who knows).
I just didn’t think I wanted to hear roughly an hour of jazz, even if it was really good (which I’m sure it was).
So I stayed home instead, and had a great night in with the fam.
